Teaching at WSU
MBioS 529: Selected Topics in Cell Biology. Module 3: Molecular Signaling Mechanisms (15 hrs) – coming soon in Spring 2019
- In this section, we will focus on the signal transduction pathways involved in cell proliferation, cell division, cell death, cancer, innate immunity & inflammation, vertebrate reproduction, as well as cell fate and cell polarity. The format will be the combination of the lecture and paper discussion and participation.
MBioS 503: Advanced Molecular Biology (15 hrs): the First Section – Fall 2018
- A 6-week-section (15 hrs) that includes the topics of Gene Organization, Genome & Evolution, Chromosomes, Chromatin, Transcription, RNA translation and regulation, as well as protein translation.
- The format is focused on student-led presentations and discussions.
- Material covered is based on Lewin’s Gene XII and current publications pertinent to the topics discussed above.
MBioS 564: Topics in Biomedical Experimentation. Module 1: Philosophy of Experimental Design (15 hrs) – Fall 2016 & Spring 2018
- A 5-week-course (15 hrs) that designed to help graduate students to develop understanding principles of experimental design.
- Drs. Simasko and Winuthayanon, use David Glass’s book: “Experimental design for biologists” to discuss about how to do science throughout the course. No lecture!
- Here are some materials for the first week: Good read!
MBioS 579: Graduate Student Seminar Series (15 hrs) – Fall & Spring 2016-2018
- A weekly seminar series given by School of Molecular Biosciences (SMB) graduate students.
- SMB students are required to given three seminars throughout their graduate education.
- A 20-min talk with 5-min Q&A from the audience.
- 1st year graduate students stay after the seminar to discuss the presentation with the speakers.
Lectures

Team teaching with Dr. Paulette Dillard for Haman Anatomy & Physiology, Shaw University, Raleigh, NC, Fall 2014
- Drs. Dillard and Winuthayanon used Marieb Human Anatomy & Physiology (9th Ed) to team-teach the junior class.
- Dr. Winuthayanon was responsible for these topics:
- Cells: The Living Units
- Tissues: The Living Fabric
- Bones and Skeletal Tissues
- Muscles and Muscle Tissues

Outreach Activities
WSU Team Mentoring Program (TMP), 2018
- Dr. Winuthayanon delivered a lecture on how TMP mentor students can help the mentees finding their community in STEM field.
NIEHS Scholars Connect Program, 2012-2013
- Dr. Winuthayanon and other volunteers from the NIEHS designed a 2.5-day course and and hands-on laboratory basics boot camp.
- Dr. Winuthayanon and other volunteers from the NIEHS designed the course and handout related to “It’s a small world: Cells & DNA” for the middle school students at the Lowes Grove Middle School in Durham, NC.
Citizen Schools in partnership with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012
- Dr. Winuthayanon and other 12 volunteers from the NIEHS designed the course and handout related to “Lung, Environment, and You” for the middle school students at the Lowes Grove Middle School in Durham, NC.
